Carol Reis Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Carol was born on October 13, 1954, to parents Vincent and Dolores Reis. She grew up on a farm in the Fonda/Varina area with her four sisters and one brother.
Carol was affiliated with the Hope Haven work program for over twenty years. She then moved to Twilight Acres where she spent the last eighteen years. She enjoyed playing cards, bingo, watching old television shows, visiting with staff, attending church services and many other activities while there.
Carol was preceded in death by her parents, Vincent and Dolores Reis; infant sister Mary; nephew Anthony Pfaffly; and brother-in-law Dan Harrington.
Carol's loving survivors include her brother, Larry (Linda) Reis; sisters Valarie (Robert) Stofferan, Linda Harrington, Sandra (Larry) Hicks, and Laura Morgan; many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and nephews, and her Twilight Acres family.
The family would like to express their deepest gratitude to the dedicated staff at Twilight Acres, past and present, for their loving and attentive care all these years. Also, a big thank you to St. Joseph Parish, Father Dillinger, and Deacon Stone for their visits and spiritual care. Thank you to the St. Croix Hospice staff for their care during Carol's battle with cancer.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in Carol's name to Twilight Acres in Wall Lake.
